Introduction to Digital Photography: Creating Images and Working with Adobe

Written for students taking their first course in the discipline, Introduction to Digital Photography: Creating Images and Working with Adobe guides readers through the basic technical aspects of photography and then encourages them to apply the fundamentals to create visually appealing photographs.

The book is organized into three main sections. The first three chapters introduce photography composition basics, understanding camera functions, and setting up your working space. Chapter 4 provides the reader with a brief history of photography and its fast evolution from film to digital. Students learn about the two main areas in photography, fine art and commercial, and how to deliver a constructive critique when discussing their work. The closing three chapters introduce Adobe programs used in postproduction to edit photographs. Students learn how to select their best work, batch edit, and retouch photographs for final output. Each chapter contains "Try It!" and "Apply It!" exercises to provide students with opportunities for practical application.

Easy-to-understand and designed to efficiently provide the knowledge needed to create successful images, Introduction to Digital Photography is an ideal textbook for courses and programs in the visual arts.
